REAL MADRID will wait until the end of the Euros before launching an intensive transfer raid for Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, according to reports.
Los Blancos are ready to add one Galactico to their squad this summer after finishing second in LaLiga behind Atletico Madrid.
Real are just one of the European giants ready to battle for Borussia Dortmund superstar Haaland.
But Marca write how club chiefs have always prioritised a move for Mbappe and hope to conclude a deal before the start of the season.
Mbappe is heading into the final year of his contract at the French giants and has no plans to extend his stay beyond 2022.
Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident PSG will be forced to sell this summer or risk losing him for nothing.
Los Blancos are struggling financially due to the pandemic but know they can raise cash in player sales in preparation to sign Mbappe.
Luka Jovic, Dani Ceballos and Brahim Diaz are believed to be up for grabs to make way for the rapid forward.
Real Madrid made their interest in Mbappe well known in 2017 when he left Monaco but the club already boasted Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema in attack.
The situation is now different at the Bernabeu with Mbappe told he will become the club’s main man.
The player has made it no secret of his desire to play in the famous white colours in the past, calling it a ‘dream.’
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was recently quizzed on Mbappe’s future and hinted he is eager to bring him to Spain.
He responded to AS: “I am not talking about players who are not in Madrid.
“I know what the partners want. They want the best to be there.
“The teams have to be renewed and we are in that renewal stage. I don’t want to talk about players who are not in Madrid because it is a lack of respect.
“People trust me. The best will come. Mbappé is one of the best, but he is not in Madrid.”
